Hi there friends...
My daughter turned 16 yesterday ... Yes ... My baby just turned "Sweet 16 " . That seems crazy ... How fast time has gone by ... We feel so blessed to be the parents of such a great, responsible, adorable and kind young woman....
We had a small surprise party for her and went out to dinner, with her and her grandparents, the day of her birthday...She chose to save for a car instead of having a big party...
Today was a very important day for her...she went to get her driver's permit...and now we have another driver in our household...
I don't know how it happened ...one day she was in diapers and today she is driving...it all happened so fast.
We are so very proud of her and we feel so honored to have been blessed with such a great daughter. Happy Sweet 16 my Dear Daughter!
Tomorrow is my son's birthday and he turns 15 ...Yes, the celebrations keep on going in our house... but they have not stopped me for knitting and crocheting a little bit whenever I get a minute...
I started this really cute scarf I saw on Pinterest...(when I have a few minutes I can get completely addicted)...:)
When I found the pattern find the on ravelry the author had not posted the pattern yet, but I just couldn't wait ...
I started right on New Years...
The pattern is Ma Belle Amie by Yarn-love on ravelry.com
She does have the pattern posted now and because I didn't have the patience to wait I think mine will look a little different, but I'm loving to do this scarf...just easy, meditative (again) knitting ...and I always need that... helps me relax after a crazy day... it helps my mind get back into the right place.
I have also started a sweater for myself (every year after New Years I like to start something for myself to wear on my birthday...(after finishing all the projects and presents I have been making all year :))
I started on this sweater...
A friend showed me the pattern (again on ravelry.com) and I couldn't do anything else until I found the yarn for it
The pattern is Snowbird by Heidi Kirrmaier
I'm so in love with this sweater... However,
I 'm having a little bit of a hard time with the beginning, but I'll persevere. I'll update you when I have progressed a bit more.
Well, friends... I'm so happy a new year has started... however busy it might be, but full of hope for a great year.
I'm so happy you came to visit me again and I'm looking forward to many fantastic moments to share with you.
Thank you to all my new followers. I always have a big smile on my face when I see a new person has joined me on this great journey.
